Saint Paul School is the only Catholic school located in the growing city of North Canton, Ohio.
The students come from families who desire that their children be educated in a Catholic environment where religious truths and values are an integral part of the school program.
Therefore we believe that, every child enrolled at Saint Paul has a right to an environment in which Catholic faith is experienced in daily living; instruction in religious truths and values is an essential part of our daily programs; religion is meant to be a real life experience in the lives of our students through the curriculum, dedicated teachers and interaction among students themselves within their own youth community.
We believe that each Catholic school, as part of a larger believing community, has the mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through excellence in educational programs and service to the Catholic community in particular and in society in general.
The foundations of Catholic belief and practice are taught while developing a sense of community, an atmosphere for worship, and a concern for social justice.
These themes permeate all aspects of the school organization and curriculum that meets the religious, academic, personal, and social needs of children.
